Stillman College coach Teddy Keaton was so pleased with his 2014 recruiting class, he started quoting Ice Cube.

Well, maybe he he didn't do intentionally but the worlds flowed just as smooth.

Keaton and his staff put together a quaint but quality class of 13 players to add to a Division II program on the rise after a 6-5 campaign in 2013, culminating with an impressive showing in a 41-28 Turkey Day Classic loss against FCS Alabama State.

"Today was a good day," said Stillman coach Teddy Keaton said. "This is going to be a group that can come in and develop themselves, which is something that I really wanted for them. I am proud of the work that the staff put in."

After losing two quarterbacks to injury late last season, Stillman went out and secured John Hancocks from Cleveland, Tenn.'s Brett Standifer (6-2, 215), and Marcelas Butler (6-3, 225) out of Eufaula.

"We had a couple of athletes who will join the program that will be definite upgrades to the team," said Keaton. "A lot of the credit for this class goes to the coaching staff. These guys really went out and worked the recruiting trail and today is the culmination of that. They deserve a lot of the credit today."
